: Reclaiming Your Joy – Finding Happiness After Pain

What if your happiness was stolen, but your joy never left?

In this powerful episode of Made For This Mountain, host Joshua Rosa confronts the lie that you’ll never heal. If you've tied your joy to people, outcomes, or a version of yourself that no longer exists this one's for you.

Learn how to rebuild your identity after disappointment, break the “when I’m healed” mindset, and rediscover a joy that can’t be shaken by circumstance. Because joy isn’t about ignoring pain it’s about refusing to live in it.

You can miss who you were before the pain and still love who you’re becoming.

Saying “yes” to everything isn’t kindness. It’s burnout in disguise.

In this episode, we’re dismantling the guilt around saying no and unpacking how boundaries aren’t walls they’re invitations for healthier relationships, clearer priorities, and deeper peace.

If you've ever felt like you're drowning in commitments, emotionally fatigued, or resentful of the people you keep giving to... this conversation is for you.

Host Joshua Rosa breaks down the psychological weight of people-pleasing and why self-respect begins with honoring your own limits even if it disappoints others.

:"If your yes requires you to betray yourself, it's not kindness it's self-abandonment."

This Episode Is For You If:

• You feel guilty when you say no
• You’re always the one people go to but no one checks on you
• You're exhausted, overbooked, or emotionally overdrawn
• You want to set healthier boundaries in your relationships, work, or spiritual life

Let’s redefine boundaries not as rejection, but as direction.

Because the most powerful word you can use to protect your peace is: no.
